Partick if they get relegated So Hearts saying they will take legal action if they get relegated right now is no surprise to anyone. Aye, the financial implications of booting Hearts into the championship would be massive for them, they'll quite rightly feel aggrieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, are you saying this in relation to Budge's comments, or just randomly throwing in strange statements to the conversation? 2 minutes ago, SandyCromarty said: As Jock Stein famously said, "There would be no football without the fans" Did you get a Jock Stein book at the weekend or something? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tv companies don't write a cheque for their season liability on August 1st. It's paid in stage payments. Even if they had paid it in full they might very well be entitled to a large chunk of it back if games are cancelled and never broadcast. If that's true then give them 20 more live games next season. Which I suggested ages ago and got shot down for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereismillar Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Here is what i think will happen pretty sure of it , Games will resume end of july (based on projected covid peak) till all fixtures are completed with midweek and weekend games considered the league and challenge cup will be cancelled for 20/21 season the 20/21 season will be started / extended as needed to allow proper reorganisation (contracts holidays ect ect ) This of course will depend on the authorities doing the right thing regarding containment ect . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not condoning it, but is she not strictly liable for hearts still? She would need to not only cover the short fall in the present, but if relegated, have to deal with that shortfall too. I think it's more of a warning shot to the powers that be of potential litigation rather than "I don't care about people getting sick". Already been covered by some, but starting next season on time with points differences kept is the best way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Budge has said that she would “consider” legal action; that’s not a big surprise. Some have chosen to report that she will “take” legal action probably because it’s a better headline. Much will depend on the detail of the SPFL’s contract with the member clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still absolutely crass in either case. Especially given the timing, there will be more than enough time to have that battle. It should also be conducted in private rather than in the papers. Is Jim Traynor on the Hearts payroll? It reeks of his incompetence. Edited March 16, 2020 by Trogdor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reeks of his incompetence. Her first loyalty is to her club, she obviously thinks it’s the right approach. If it comes back to bite her she will have to live with that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but some of those positions are reasonable in the circumstances; others are not. The very least you could expect from the Chief Exec of Hearts at this stage is to keep her fkn mouth firmly shut... dismal behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
